Touchable illustrations in a soft palette provide a small sampling of the animals that live in the world. The spreads first glance at Planet Earth in space before zeroing in on each continent. The text notes a few of the animals before asking readers to name the rest l animals are labelled, making this exercise most useful for prereaders. Enhanced spot UV treatments on the animals give them a slippery, shiny texture that will attract little fingers, and readers will enjoy looking at images of familiar animals, like lions and elephants, next to more surprising ones, such as an oryx and some krill.

Touch and learn. Applying the tactile features of Montessori teaching, this innovative board book uses enhanced spot UV treatments to teach little ones about the different animals that live on each continent. One-of-a-kind colorful illustrations, sturdy board pages, and no moveable parts make this a unique addition to an early learning collection. About the Discovery Concepts series: Discovery Concepts books celebrate Montessori's curious discovery approach to learning. Maria Montessori believed "the hand is the chief teacher of the brain," encouraging students to learn by touch and created specially designed materials such as sandpaper letters to support this method. Inspired by her teachings, each book in the Discovery Concepts board book collection uses tactile enhancements to engage young children in discovering the topic at hand. Beyond the tactile elements each title is designed to capture a child's imagination and curiosity as they learn.
